Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention The present invention relates to a control circuit between bus bars. This signal is used to replace multiple delays in small computers such as computer systems. Good _ confluence ·-row, and there is about electric system with _ control signal). In recent years, personal computers have become more popular, and the extended bus used to make information communication between the CPU and multiple input / output devices has been changed considerably, and CPU components can be greatly improved. Fu Tong's standard bus called ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) has been adopted by the extended M bus in general personal computers. Therefore, there are many expansion boards based on this standard value in the commercial market. Due to the improvement of the performance through cp.u, the rapid processing capability of mi fishing has been achieved. The data transmission speed between the CPU and the input / output device is increased as long as the ISA bus is used. It has recently been noticed that the standard used for this extended bus is the bus standard called PC "Peripheral Component Interconnect", which has been established as a bus standard for American Corporation.

Invention Description () 12 Figure 4B shows that the configuration of the ST unit 401 is similar, so the circuits of the phase Jli are represented by the same reference numbers. The following describes the operation of processing bus access from the second bus. When the bus access is from the second bus 2 01 When it is generated, the second bus interface 42 0 receives this bus access and sends it to the LC unit 420. The STC unit 403 will decode the address and command, information, and code in the decoder circuit 451. The access falls in that access U) '(5), and the results of these processes are determined according to J * to the temporary good access unit U3, the GM access unit 4_5Λ or the first-bus access list 455. Corresponding group, the processing performed is the same as the access performed by the first bus 200. In particular, if the result of the decision shows that the received bus access falls to the internal interface (4) , The register access unit 453 in the STC unit 403 outputs a read / Write the signal to the scratchpad.-Based on this read / write signal, Yuan 407 reads the data from the scratchpad; the data. If the result of the decision shows that the received bus access falls within the mjs memory access ( 5), the fetch unit 4 54 in STC, unit 403 outputs a start signal, the address of the whole area memory 50, and the appropriate WSUSL to the GMC unit 408.

If the result of the decision shows that access to the failed bus access m I " " access to the device with the first bus channel 20.0 (6), then in the unit β 40 The bus access unit 458 outputs such as start signal, address, data, etc. to PMC Yong. 404, and stores the bus cycle received by the second interface unit 420 in the SPB unit 413. When receiving the start signal, the PMC unit 4 04 loses (please read the note on the back-install-fill in this page) The paper size of the specification is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -15-A7 B7 Economy Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Industry Male Workers' Consumer Cooperative V. Description of Invention (13) A request signal is sent to A bus 200 to obtain a bus on the first bus 20_〇. Then, after receiving the number from the first public, the PMC unit 404 outputs the bus access from the SiB unit 413 ( Address, command, etc.) to the first bus 200 to generate a bus cycle in the first bus 200. The device (such as PCI device 6) that accesses the target in the first bus 200 The signal is decoded and responds to the access. In the above operation, if access is made to the main CJMI1 or any CPU in the local CPU 70-73., The SIC unit 409 executes interrupt processing. The SIC unit 409 generates an interrupt signal to the local CPU 70-73 based on the setting value in the REG unit 407. In the REG unit 407, first set the bit corresponding to the individual processor, such as the main 1, the device connected to the second bus 1, etc. When an access to each processor is detected in the comparator signal, the PTC unit 401 and the STC unit 403 set a bit corresponding to the processor requested in the REG unit 407. The SIC_unit 409 monitors the REG unit 407 and outputs a request to the processor (device) corresponding to the positioning element. After completing the interrupt processing, each processor informs the AIC unit 409 that the processing has been completely interrupted, and therefore, the result is processed. From the first bus bar joa to the whole area of the 100 million yuan ribs or connected to the second diversion bar 201 installed oxygen ϋ access, PTC unit 401 can use PSB unit 412 to perform control to achieve faster access processing, Therefore, the potential to restrict access. Especially, during the data entry period, after receiving the name, the PTC unit _401 returns a completed letter paper size when the write operation to the PSB412 unit overflows.
